Writing and Harry Potter

Phoenix Song and The Sugar Quill are two websites providing the opportunity to write fanfiction - or just read it if that's all you've got the energy for. The good thing about these sites is that they have fairly vigorous peer-editing processes, and Phoenix Song links to the Perfect Imagination group of beta-readers; so a good opportunity to develop writing skills, based on someone else's fictitive world - a process I find very similar to the re-telling of the gospel.

Finding stories ...

These suggestions from author Janice Thompson,
Here are ten "everyday" suggestions for places you can look, just to get you going:
Today's news headline.
The woman in line in front of you at the grocery store.
The clerk checking you out at the grocery store.
The radio D.J. you listen to every day.
The gum under the table.
The abandoned, broken-down car on the side of the highway.
The frazzled look on a preschool teacher's face.
An email subject line
A fortune cookie
A construction worker's face

Enjoy! (and do share!)
